Rewilding Immersions

​All welcome to join in our 3 day rewilding immersion with bush skills, fireside ritual, shared meals, community building and honourable foraging and fire.

We gather on the lands of the Wurundjeri people and pay our respects to these people and this country. We gather to return and relearn the ancient ways of respect, connection and regeneration through the generations.

 

Welcome to our new home and our first Rewilding immersion here near Yarra Glen on the edge of Kinglake national park! This weekend has been birthed out of the yearning to take people deeper into connection with country with more bush skills and more time to settle into an ancient and ancestral way of being! I’m excited to be collaborating with Bek from Bush Talk who I have being inspired by with her way of building intuitively and with nature! You’ll hear some of her story of how she came to build a bush shack to live more closely with country. We’ll also have Brad bringing his tipi that he made himself! 

 

This will be more than bush skills! It will be a returning to the ways of our ancestors with fireside ritual and storytelling as well as a space to acknowledge this country and the custodians of this country through more than an acknowledgement, we’ll have a circle to explore decolonising and what it is to be on country, work with country, listen to country and above all… respect country and culture. We welcome any Indigenous people from any of the hundreds of clans across these lands to share as well - please feel free to reach out.

 

We encourage all ages and stages to join us and have done our best to make this affordable for families.

 

Rewilding Immersion:
Building Shelter - Building Community
20 Nov - 22 Nov 2026  |  Gathering Place, Steels Creek

Kids Gather

 

We invite you into the bush to remember your wild self and the way of village. Let's play, explore, sing, dance and connect in nature where we belong.

Gathering days will have a rhythm of gathering, sharing, learning and adventuring to nurture connection to self, each other and Country. Activities will include re-wilding skills, foraging, gardening, cooking on fire, medicine making, creative expression and caring for Country. Kids will be encouraged to follow their curiosity and supported to expand their awareness, learning with heads, hearts and minds.

Our future depends upon us rekindling the old ways, living in sacred reciprocity with the Earth and all beings. As we tend the Earth together we can remember ourselves back to belonging. May our children grow knowing this way of being.

This gathering is families, kids and young people of all ages, parents and carer. Yes, its for adults to play too! And it's free. We honour the Law of the Land,  to take only what we need and  give what we can,  for this will bring abundance to all.

We walk and gather on First Nation's Country. Sovereignty has never been seeded. I pay my deepest respect to traditional custodians, ancestors, elders and the spirits of this land. From you we seek guidance. May we walk together to remember sacred life-ways and our spiritual connection to place. May this way of being, knowing and doing bring us back into a relationship of reciprocity to enable truly sustainable growing and harvesting practices.

Let's Connect
